Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Covariation refers to the concept that when one variable changes, another variable changes in a consistent and systematic manner. This means that the two variables are related to each other in some way, and that changes in one variable can be used to predict changes in the other variable. Correlation (A) is a related concept, but it specifically refers to the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables. Statistical significance (B) refers to the likelihood that a relationship between two variables is not due to chance, rather than the nature of the relationship itself. Linearity (D) and nonlinearity (E) refer to the shape of the relationship between two variables, rather than the presence or absence of a relationship.
